History

On July 1, 2010, AznKei made a thread about Mission reviewing.

"My name's AznKei, and I'm a DYOM reviewer. I created this topic so I can rate some of the DYOM missions that the DYOM community have made. I'll give you a full detailed review about some random missions I played and add some feedback for improvements. I'll also accept review requests, just pm me or write down your requests at this topic, and I'll take a look of your DYOM missions."

Since July 1, this thread is still active and pinned in DYOM:Missions forum.

Rating System

AznKei and other reviewers use the same rating system

"Writing" is focused with the mission dialogues and instructions quality. The rating depends the structure of your writings and how easy we can understand them. From the lowest to the highest ratings, it goes like this:Could be better ---> Decent ---> Good ---> Very Good ---> Excellent.

"Presentation" is focused on visual and storyline quality. The rating depends how accurate the camera in your cutscenes are and if you put things that surprise the player like the explosions, the stunts, etc. From the lowest to the highest ratings, it goes like this: Could be better ---> Decent ---> Good ---> Very Good ---> Excellent.

"Length" is focused on the time the player spends on the mission. The rating depends how long the mission lasts. The rating goes like this: Too short (1- min) ---> Short (2 to 3 mins) ---> Decent (4 mins) ---> Good (5 to 6 mins) ---> Very Good (7 to 9 mins) ---> Excellent (10 to 14 mins) <--- Long (15 to 20 mins) <--- Very Long (21+ mins).

"Difficulty" is focused on... well, the difficulty on the mission. The rating depends how hard the mission can be for an average player perspective and how accessible it is for the mainstream players. The rating goes like this: Very Easy ---> Easy ---> Medium <--- Hard <--- Very Hard! <--- Too Hard!!.

"Variety" is focused about the amount of contents that can be found in the mission. The rating depends how many different actors, weapons, objects, vehicles and pickups can be found in the specific mission. From the lowest to the highest ratings, it goes like this: Could be better ---> Decent ---> Good ---> Very Good --->Excellent.
